Ten amateur organists were asked to list their ten most-often-played funeral voluntaries — and this has resulted in the list that follows. Asterisks indicate the number of those listing a particular piece. It is hoped that this article will provide some ideas for organists to add to their repertoires.

For the next SOUNDBOARD, part 4 of the series will appear: A Top Ten Pieces for Weddings — in the same style. So, we appeal to all organists out there: please let us have a list of the ten pieces that you play most often at weddings. There will obviously be duplication of previous listings, which is to be expected. Please don’t assume that there will be enough contributions without yours; the more there are, the more objective and the more useful the article will be.
